EIGHTEEN eighty seven now sire, Chcs
out before us in encouraging prospect,
leaving the events, the joys and sorTOws,
the failures and successes Of eighteen
eighty six 70 live only In memory or on
the page of history, II would Oe iUte-
resting TO know how many good resolu-
ti0rs We're made on the first day of the
year, and how many have already met
their fate ere this week has completed
the cycie. Honest resolves are not to
be treated scorufuIly, even though they
are born to die%the next day and be
buried in Oblivion the rest of the year.
y mere resolve to reform is evidence of
good intention, and its frequent repeti-
tioa may eventually lead to the desired
cOnsummation. The past year has had
its full average quota of disasters
floods, fires, earthquakes, cyclones, ship
wrecks and railroad smash-ups: while
on the other hand it has seen many en-
terpr!ses prosper and communities bless
ed with all the good fortune that could
reasonably be expected. Among the
illustriOus names borne by those who
have crossed the river during the year
are General W. S. Hancock, Horatio
Seymour, Samuel J. Thden. Chester a.
Arthur, Charles Francis Adams. David
Davis and John a. Logan. These are
the names of men who have figured in
our national history as soldiers and
statesmen, and who, though dead. have
left the impress of their lives on our
free institutions. In a business view
the old year had soua r-veIses and dull
periods occasiOned by strikes and lock
outs but on the whole it bears q verv
favorable comparison to its immediate
predecessors. Our iron and steel indus.
tries have been active throughout the
year, which is attributed largely to the
increased number of new railroads built
during that period, aggreCating 1000
miles. Railroad building promises to
be even more active in 1887 than in 1856.
and the general business outlook for iron
and steel industries is correspondIngIv
heightened. With the advent of 1887
has come a better understanding and
closer relation between capital and labor.
and while the harmony IS not perfect,
Tor the dissatisfaction on the one hand
or oppression on che other entirely re-
moved, yet the signs of the times indi-
cate better state of affairs the present
year than existed in 1886. As thu New
Year advances let everybody strive 10
practice the Golden Rule and both en-
ployer and employed will be prepared to
enter upon q still happier New Year in
1883.

A LOOK over the past year reveals the
encouraging fact that as q nation We
have made marked progress in all our
resources. The agricultural, mining
and manufacturing interests os our
country have kept pace with each other
in -eaping the advantages of free Re
public. Our progress in the arts, science
and literature is becoming greater each
year, and in all these onward strides
toward perfection is not the condition of
the lab1ring class. the mass OF tie peC-
ple made better? If not our progress
is not of the kind befLting a nation like
ours. The only true progress is the pro-
Qrpss that advances the interests o: all
alike and makes every body happier and
better. There are those who believe the
rights of the many are being more
trampled upon by tho few every year. A
glance down the corridors of the past
will prove such not to be the case. It
has been the case in all ages that few
have domineered over the many by arbi-
trarily exercising the advantage that
wealth and position afforded them but
the Door man can assert his rights to-
day with more hope of recognition than
ever before The power of the monOp-
oIiss is gradually being shattered and he
who once .tyranDized boldly over those
IN his employ has learned to proceed
with caution. The committee appoint

PREPARING FOR A MEXICAN REvO-
LUTION.-IJ is weiI-kuOEu that large
bodies of troops have been moved up
and down the Mexican central recently.
The latest movement of Importance
took place about two weeks ago. when
some two thousand soldiers were
brought up to Chihuahua. The reason
for this is and has been an enigma, but
il IS known now that an outbreak is
feared in the western part of the state
Of Chihuahua. The population about
CusihuiriachiaO is said to be ripe for re-
belliOn and 10 Ie only waiting for op-
pOrtunity and a leader. OF course Of

authorities to stile all reports of trOub-
le as long al possible.

THE JAMES BROTHERS OUTDONE.-
About 9 O'Clock one evening last week
three men drew up IN front OF the large
jewelry store d. j r. Elliott, at Mime
0pu'is, Minnesota. Two of The men
jumped from their sleigh. while the
JhiTd held the horses. One Of the men
carried heavy stick of wood with
which be smashed the large plate glass
window, ia which there were trays Of
diamonds, watches. etc. He hurriedly
seiZsd all the available jewelry and threw
it INTO the sleigh, while the accOmplices
kept the crowds Of people that swaTmed
the streets at bay with cooked Tevolvers.
Before anything could be done TO appre-
hend them both men had jumped into
he sleigh and drove rapid yup The street,
the driver wildly slasbing the horses aud
the robbers standing with revOlyers
pointed at The crowd. They secured be.
tween Sc, 600 and s. 600 worth Of dia-
mOBds and watches. For bOiduess and
daring this eXcel5 the James brothers
exploits. The streets were unusually
crowded. and a large crowd was looking
at the display iu Eli0tt's window at the
time.

a Girl as a Car Conductor.

An Ansonia young lady had occasion
to act rs conductor on one OF the street
cars one day last week under peculiar
circumstances. In company with au-
other young lady she was riding from
Birmingham, and by mistake in depos
iting fares for both dropped quarter
OF II dollar into the box whence no
change comes. The quarter jinslsd the
glass sides with an unusually loud
sound that caused the driver to take
his eyes of the road for an instant and
place them in the road for an instant
and place them ia the direction Of the
fure-boX. As his optics caught sight
OF the quarter settling itself down the
glass tubogSau they also noticed an
outstretched hand belonging to the
Young lady, and his ears heard the
familiar ,eInd Of Change, please.
The Jchu explained all thoughts
that the yonug lady had of ever lsct- =
ting her IL cents change, aud told her
that the best way he saw was for her
to collect three fares from the pass
engers rs they entered the car. Ac-
cordingly the young lady, as any
sensible person would do, bided her
time, and from trio who boarded
the car collected the amount Of her
deficiency, thus balancing herself
with the company treasury.

Dish7nos.y Begins at Homo.

The crying sin Of the day is dishon-
esty. One hears SO much of it In
public life but as we have said be-
fore, there II too much Of it altogeth
er In private life. Aud its cause is to
be found in the want OF self-control in
the indulgence of tastes and appe
tites Reckless eNtravaSant living
is ut the bottom Of it all. II this liv-
ing had any trne foundation in any
hearty desire for any desirable things
there would be more hope Of amends
ment. But when one comes to- see
what things il3gotten gains are spent
upon, the outlook is Il sad ono. Dress
display, amusement, costly things
bought just because they are costly ;
wealth won evilly merely that it may
be wasted foolishly these are signs
OF time which is not "a pleasant
thing to contemplate. II man loves
any ono thing, say rare books, or pic
turss, or objects OF art OF any kind,
Oh music, or science, so well that for
the sake Of one thing in which he
would be rich, he is willing to be poor
in everything else, no matter though
his choice be an unwis .one according
to the best standards of choice, he
will yet have q motive which will heli
to keep him upright. But for those
who love none OF these things, but
simply desirs them because it it th,
habit OF the time because lik,
painpered children they must needs
cry for whatsoever they see just out
OF their reach, for them is needed tn,
wholesome self-discipline which shal
teach them to let alone whatever il
not theirs.
And in the beginning of this self
discipline Is in the home. Parents
must teach their boys and girls tn,
great lesson of doing without what
ever cannot be ftly theirs. There
need be no ni.gardly restraint, but it
some way the first lesson for child
hood should be that of earning ia
pleasures. 70 get whatever it era ve'
az soon us it asks for it, Is the wors
training child can have.
